What did you use for your lift system?

Wow, looks like you are changing almost everything around. Are you changing the lift system as well? Can't wait to see more pictures

About the only parts we had trouble with, were the nylon slides. Had them machined from my brothers brother inlaw. Everything else was pretty simple to find at Home Depot or amazon for standard RV parts. I know they made 10' Siestas but have never seen another one besides mine and my brothers...

I don't know of any owners manuals but my brother and I each have restored one. anything in you need help with in particular? Copy of the restored thread of my camper we just got done with. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/1968-siesta-hard-side-pop-up-restoration.192230/

Its sad how many dishonest people there are in the world. Looking back I'm glad we took it and went as far into the project as we did. While much more money and more work then we ever could have imaged, it forced us into going much further and will have a much nicer camper in the end. And...

Thanks, its been a blast to do a project like this with my brother. We live 400 miles away and this has been a great to keep us working on things like we used to 20 years ago. With all of the work we have done, we hope to get 20 years out of this camper before it needs another overhaul.

Making some real progress. Hope to be able to get it mounted to the truck this weekend. Trim is done, solar is done and new Fantastic fan is mounted. The new fridge I had seems to be dead on arrival. So that will likely have to be replaced at this point. int.

Have you considered a shell perhaps? All terrain campers will get you a shell with all the hard stuff figured out and you get to build the insides out. Best of both worlds. I think a shell would be under 10k. Or find an old Alaskan and refurb it. I know of a few around listed in the 1-2k range...

Some days it seems like we should have left it in the junk yard. But there are so few left and it was the same model I grew up camping in. So we had to save it in the end. Did it make financial sense? no, but most fun things in life rarely do. Nope not a fan of SC, just like the colors. Its...

Looks like a blast! Always nice dealing with a seller that is up front with you. I look forward to seeing your work on the camper and blazer. I've had a couple FWC grandby's and really enjoyed them. Lots of fun to upgrade them and make them your own.
